The beautiful setting often includes a lot of bare naked Men, usually in their 50's, over weight with a cocktail in one hand and a co** in the other. Not that there is anything wrong with that. This gay hangout is what it is and in our city of tolerance, how many murders a day? Who cares? This is a gay atmosphere and establishment. Did I mention all the gay men slathering lotion on their loins?
The food is good and the gay scene is great. There is no pressure to be naked amongst everyone else, it is gay friendly and gay diverse and a gay setting with not much clothing.

The food is good except that I wouldn't bring Grandma there, that's all.

The Bywater is in a Renaissance, and will soon be as splendid uptown, much to the chagrin of the old school "uptowners". This sliver of dry ground Down river or Down Town in its day, had its history steeped in a splendid walking venue to garden settings and the french quarter via horse drawn bridal path. The park behind Douglas auditorium was once a place of chatting and romantic gas lit walks.

So enjoy the Country Club for what it is and feel welcome as you disrobe, frolicking in a by-gone day of smelling the roses, not minding the thorns. If you bring your rose colored glasses, even better-
